Steps:
- Drain the tuna. Place it in a bowl and use a fork to break apart any large clumps.
- Finely chop the celery, red onion, and dill pickles.
- For Classic Tuna Salad, use a fork to mix together the tuna and chopped vegetables with the Greek yogurt, mayo, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and kosher salt. Add shredded Parmesan if desired (it really steps it up a notch!). For Tuna Salad with Egg, add chopped hard boiled egg. For Avocado Tuna Salad, use 1/2 chopped ripe avocado instead of the Greek yogurt and mayo, and skip the Parmesan.
- Lightly toast the bread, if desired. Spoon the tuna salad onto the bread and serve.

THE BEST TUNA SALAD
While we love many kinds of tuna salad, this classic version tops them all. The crispy celery and red onion give add zest and crunch, while mayonnaise and touch of mustard marry it all together. The lemon juice is optional as it's not traditional, but we strongly recommend it to brighten up the flavors of the final dish.

Steps:
- In a small mixing bowl break up the tuna with a fork. Toss with the celery, onion and parsley. Add the mayonnaise, mustard and season with pepper, to taste. Stir to combine. Add lemon juice, to taste, if using.
ULTIMATE TUNA MELTS
Steps:
- In a medium bowl, flake the tuna finely with a fork. Add the celery, scallions, and dill, and continue mixing and fluffing with the fork until combined. Add the lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Combine the mayonnaise and anchovy paste, if using, and mix into the tuna.
- Preheat the broiler. Toast the bread in a toaster and place the slices in a single layer on a sheet pan. Spread a quarter of the tuna mixture thickly and evenly on each piece of bread, covering the entire slice. Sprinkle the cheese evenly on the 4 sandwiches, covering the tuna completely. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the cheese melts and starts to brown. (Watch it carefully!) Sprinkle with the microgreens and serve hot.

TUNA SALAD SANDWICH
I gave Mom's original recipe a boost by adding onion and green pepper to these delightfully different tuna sandwiches. With hard-cooked eggs and cheese, the filling tastes fresh, not fishy, and the rolls stay nice and crispy. -Nancy Selig, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia

TUNA SALAD SANDWICHES
Inspired by Iranians' love affair with pickles and fresh herbs, this tuna salad combines the crunch and tang of dill pickles with a mix of herbs. The cheerful addition of potato chips celebrates relaxed summer lunches - and tastes great any time of year. Ciabatta rolls and classic salted chips are especially good here, but you can use your favorite loaves and chips, or skip the bread and just serve the tuna salad with chips for scooping.

Steps:
- Drain the tuna, place in a medium bowl and use a fork to flake into pieces. Add the mayonnaise, pickles, celery, green onion, dill, parsley, lemon juice and oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and combine well. Taste and adjust all seasonings to your liking if needed. The tuna salad will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- Divide the tuna salad among the bottom halves of the rolls, top off with potato chips, sandwich with the ciabatta tops and serve.
Tips for Perfect Tuna Salad or Sandwiches:
- Use high-quality tuna: Opt for solid white tuna packed in water or olive oil. Avoid tuna packed in oil, as it can be mushy and oily.
- Drain the tuna well: This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a variety of ingredients: Add vegetables like celery, onion, and pickles for crunch and flavor. Hard-boiled eggs, chopped nuts, and herbs are also great additions.
- Use a creamy base: Mayonnaise is the classic choice, but you can also use Greek yogurt, sour cream, or avocado for a healthier option.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
- Chill before serving: This will help the flavors meld and the salad will be more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Tuna salad is a classic dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you prefer it on a sandwich, wrap, or salad, there are endless possibilities for customization. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, tuna salad is a versatile and satisfying meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy lunch or dinner, give tuna salad a try!
